Sport: Championships

2008-08-19T15:47:42.0032Z

I added his Masters Tournament wins in here. As a result, he was typed as a sports team. Is there a better way to enter in individual sports championships?

Broadcast: Internet-only radio stations?

2008-07-21T21:58:29.0007Z

Er, forget that internet stream typing business, the real question is should it still be typed as a "Radio station" ?

Broadcast: Internet-only radio stations?

2008-07-21T21:57:09.0012Z

An example:

WOXY is a radio station that used to broadcast terrestrially but is strictly internet-only now..so it's typed as a Radio station, and as such it has properties like "Frequency" and "Serves Area", that i guess historically make sense..but not anymore.

Should it instead by typed as Internet Stream?

525 Power Tracks: The best rock station!!

2008-07-20T02:50:51.0005Z

This is the best internet radio station on the internet! Hard Rock and Heavy Metal and no emo crap!

Fall Out Boy: Problem with the description of this page.

2008-07-03T01:56:56.0015Z

Thanks for catching this. Either one of our users or bad information in the MusicBrainz or Wikipedia entries for the DJ caused us to merge the two entities. They should definitely be split apart.

Fall Out Boy: Problem with the description of this page.

2008-07-03T01:42:16.0041Z

There seems to be a problem with the description for this page. The page itself is about the band Fall Out Boy, but the description reads:

"Also known as

   * Alec Milliner,
   * Fallout Boy
   *

Fallout Boy is a DJ whose real name is Alec Milliner. He should not be confused with Fall Out Boy. "

And the link to the Fall Out Boy not to be confused with links back to this page.

No longer available as a free internet stream.

WBOS: split

2008-06-13T16:36:10.0012Z

This topic should be split. The producer of content and the content itself should not be combined.

97.3 The Big Joe: Off the Air

2008-06-05T18:13:47.0005Z

This station is off the air.

NPR: All Songs Considered: Why delete?

2008-05-19T18:33:15.0007Z

Hi Jeff,

I may have marked it as delete before I was familiar with merge. So we probably do not need to detele.

thanks,

Andy

this has been merged, so we do not need to delete.

Wallstrip: Please split

2008-05-09T22:21:21.0007Z

This is a podcast entry, so I would recommend creating another topic for the Wallstrip company. We removed the types that weren't podcast-related.

Ludwig van Beethoven: Composer vs. Musical Artist for classical composers

2008-04-26T01:20:38.0007Z

Welcome to my nightmare.

Every music database in the world indexes classical recordings by composer, basically because the physical record had to go in one place in the store. There is no reason for us to follow this model—except that our main data source, MusicBrainz, still uses it.

We will be changing this at some point, but I couldn’t tell you when. Do you have a specific use case or application that this is blocking? That would affect our priority.

Ludwig van Beethoven: Composer vs. Musical Artist for classical composers

2008-04-25T23:21:38.0012Z

It seems odd to have entries for albums and tracks recorded for a classical composer. Shouldn't the musical artist in this case be the conductor, symphony or other performers (analogous to songs and albums recorded by someone like the Rolling Stones)?

Merge, don’t delete. The two podcasts have different feeds, even if the content is the same.

A Way with Words: Duplicate

2008-04-14T20:48:00.0005Z

This is a duplicate podcast.

NPR: All Songs Considered: Why delete?

2008-03-06T20:57:57.0012Z

Why has this been marked for delete? It looks like a legitmate topic to me.

Wallstrip: Please split

2008-02-13T20:22:32.0012Z

Split out into another topic with types company, venture funded company, employer, and website owner.

add the co-type website to the existing topic, and like the company wallstrip to this one as the website owner.

Radio format: Enumerated list instead of standard view?

2008-02-06T23:37:37.0012Z

Wouldn't this be better served by controlling the inputs to a restricted enumerated listing of the formats? Prevent people misspelling/misapplying to the wrong topics?

Broadcast: Radio Networks

2007-09-30T22:32:12.0000Z

I think this seems like a reasonable request, but I'm trying to avoid adding too many types here, plus the TV network may be better generalized here to Broadcast network.. we probably need to poke around in the TV domain to see if that type is going anywhere.

Radio Station: Programs

2007-09-24T17:48:05.0000Z

We have no schema for radio programs right now, so if you want to try modeling it in your private domain, please do! We also seem to lack a "radio network" type, so you might need to add that as well. I don't know much about the ins and outs of radio (just what I can glean from listening to a show's credits), but I'd be happy to give you feedback, help, whatnot with your schema if you want/need it. Take a look at the model for TV program; much of it will probably be similar to radio.

Radio Station: Programs

2007-09-22T22:16:43.0012Z

A radio station, like a public radio station, has programs, analogous to the "TV program" hierarchy. These programs can be from a network e.g. NPR or can be locally produced. SO I might consider (but don't know how to add them)
* Adding a list of Radio Programs to a Radio Station

Broadcast: Radio Networks

2007-09-22T22:09:40.0005Z

There is a topic on radio network but no schema. I am trying to put Chicago Public Radio into both the NPR and PRI networks as a affiliate or member but there is none. Am I correct -- I have created stuff before and had to remove it because I missed something.

TV Station: Call letters?

2007-03-21T18:48:30.0006Z

Scratch that, arrived at the type without noticing the topics.

TV Station: Call letters?

2007-03-21T18:14:47.0006Z

Don't most terrestrial tv stations hace call letters?

Radio Station: Please add property for region

2007-01-25T00:41:49.0006Z

Radio stations (and TV stations) should be co-typed as broadcaster. I think the "areas served" property on the broadcaster schema will answer for you.

Radio Station: Please add property for region

2007-01-24T22:23:34.0011Z

There should be a property to make it easy to filter by city. I would be fine with a list of cities...

Radio Station: Please properties for specific artists and songs

2007-01-24T22:13:22.0011Z

It would be awesome to have a reciprocal link to artist and song from a radio station. I'm not a buyer or downloader of music. I stream.
